Ra Charmain - Hine Ruhi / Slice of Heaven

WAIATA WAIRUA is a stunning 8-track album being released
alongside new te reo Māori single and video ‘Hine Ruhi / Slice of
Heaven’ (their beautiful interpretation of Dave Dobbyn’s
classic). Along with their new single, the record also includes
popular singles ‘Papatuānuku He Ataahua Koe / What a Wonderful
World’ (RNZ, The Breeze, Whakaata Māori, The Most FM, Radio
Waatea), ‘Te Aroha’ (Air NZ, NZOA NewTracks, Niu FM, Tumeke FM,
NZ Musician, 13th Floor, Juice TV). 


Recorded at their home studio in Titirangi, with translation and
arrangement help from whānau, and musical support from some of
Aotearoa’s finest musicians, the songs on WAIATA WAIRUA were
inspired by a period of time when Ra and Hayden were going
through big life changes - marriage, death, and having a baby!
